While Yasenia and the girls counted their spoils, Long Baidi and Tang Xian appeared very far away. They were in the vicinity of the mountain Evelyn was in the past. It was the place they marked for their life-saving treasures to transport them to in case of an emergency.
Since they were the successors of their respective families, they had three life-saving treasures each. A spatial treasure, a defensive treasure, and an attack treasure. In their fight against Yasenia and the others, they consumed everything except Long Baidi's attack treasure.
However, even though their protection treasures activated, they would only activate when the damage was enough to become lethal. That's why Yasenia's attack managed to injure Long Baidi so badly before it activated.
What did this mean for Tang Xian?
Well, at the moment, the woman was screaming like a shrew with a voice laced with pain, anger, and madness. "I am going to kill that beast! My face! My face!! AHH!! I want to eat their flesh!"
The protection treasure and teleportation treasure activated while Angel's attack hit her, so her skin, hair, and robes were burned extremely badly. The result was a deformed face that would make our dear Fox's scars look like small deformities.
She looked horrendous, with her skin melting in some places and bubbling in others. Thankfully or not, depending on which side you were, these wounds weren't enough to kill her. Moreover, Tang Xian still had her spatial ring, so she had some healing treasures with her.
Long Baidi looked at Tang Xian and his face twisted with disgust. Although they were fiancees, he wasn't someone who would support Tang Xian in this situation. The anger from losing his ring and arm, receiving grave wounds, and the rage burning inside him formed an extreme dislike toward Tang Xian. 'Why didn't her attack kill Yasenia? Why was she so stupid and screaming like a shrew? Isn't she a Fate user? Why couldn't she predict all of what happened? Those people she recommended were useless.'
Those thoughts circled inside his head, feeding his ego as he convinced himself that everything that happened was Tang Xian's fault. However, he wasn't incensed enough to snap at Tang Xian yet because he could feel that the protection in his ring wasn't broken yet.
As long as this protection remained, he would be able to recover everything in the future.
He looked at the woman screaming profanities and said with a flat tone. "We've underestimated her because we had the [Demon Golden Nail] with us. However, we've used both of them, and it didn't even protect us fully."
Tang Xian took out a lot of medicinal salves, pills, and incense and smeared them over herself.
After she gulped them down and felt her body healing, she continued screaming like a deranged person.
"Fucking shitty treasures! Aren't they Transcendence Ranked treasures!? Why am I burned? Why could she burn my perfect face!?"
Long Baidi was getting annoyed.
He was already mad about the wounds he received and losing his ring, only to have this woman screaming at him as if he owed her something. "Tang Xian, stop screaming and relax for a second. We-"
"Relax!? How can I relax when they are still alive!? I'm going to send thousands of men to ra-"
Long Baidi's patience snapped, and he shouted. "SHUT UP! So what if we had the treasures!? She slammed us around like ragdolls! Your fucking arrows were so weak they couldn't pierce her scales! Useless! Not even your enhanced attack by the [Ending Fate Arrow] could kill her!"
Tang Xian's eyes opened wide, and her face morphed with rage, making her face even uglier. "HUH!? You dare blame it on me!? How would I be able to shoot when your fucking weak ass couldn't maintain her in place! Moreover, I had that arrogant woman shooting arrows at me constantly! If her pressure didn't slam you to the ground, I wouldn't have been able to use the arrow! If one of us is useless, it is you!"
Long Baidi shouted back. "At least I could fight back against her! On the other side, you were like a leaf in a storm, thrown around by that weak Phoenix as if you were a leaf in a storm."
Then, he sneered. "You should stop speaking and gesturing around, else that disgusting face of yours will become permanent."
If Tang Xian's eyes could spit fire according to her anger, she would have flamethrowers as eyes at that moment. Therefore, she said something she shouldn't have out of pure rage. "You fucking impotent man! You only have a pretty face and a tiny cock! I can only satisfy myself after fucking your friends! So you better shut your mouth and follow behind me like the good dog you are!"
Long Baidi's eyes opened wide, not believing what she had just said. Tang Xian seemed to wake up after seeing Long Baidi's expression, and her heart dropped. However, since she had started, she stupidly went all the way with it.
Her mouth arched in a mocking smile as she said. "Why act so surprised? Did you really think you could satisfy me? You are just a-"
*BANG!*
Long Baidi's fist met with Tang Xian's healing face, splitting the delicate skin on her face and throwing her away.
Tang Xian didn't expect his punch.
Although Long Baidi was an asshole to others, he actually treated Tang Xian decently. Therefore, this punch was extremely out of character for him.
The woman looked at him with a bewildered expression. 'H-He hit me? W-What?'
Long Baidi's tone was so cold that it would give chills to anyone hearing it. "Go fuck yourself, retarded woman. I will go on my own for the last two weeks. Also, our family alliance will end as long as I gain the title from my father."
Tang Xian reacted and shouted somewhat anxiously. "W-Wait! You can't leave just like that."
However, under her very eyes and extremely injured in both heart and body, Long Baidi used his movement technique and vanished from the spot. He didn't even listen to her excuses. Not that someone would've to listen after their partner put a green hat on them without their consent.
The situation was very different from our dragoness's situation, after all.
In the forest area, our girls were moving around, trying to find more people they had enmity with. However, they didn't seem to have more luck and only found a bunch of stranded Demons.
Their treasure number in the Heaven rank was already in the hundreds. Yasenia couldn't help but sigh. "Truly, the path to becoming rich fast is robbing. How much time would it take to make this with normal means? Not to mention, our resources can only be measured with tens or even hundreds of tons."
Evelyn said it quite bluntly. "We are fucking rich."
They all nodded. Kali commented, "With the new formation, alchemy, and blacksmithing knowledge we take back, the Academy will be able to become much stronger."
Evelyn nodded. "Yes. Sadly, there weren't many techniques in tailoring. But I think I managed to get a lot of nice designs to make clothes in the future."
Yasenia asked because she was quite clueless about Spirit Tailoring knowledge. "Won't you need the designs to have a certain capacity for energy? Tailoring is similar to formations but on clothes, right?"
Evelyn nodded. "Yes, However, although the design is important, the patterns for energy circuits are embedded in the threads, so with enough skill, you don't have to worry too much about the shape of the clothes."
Yasenia looked around and sighed. "It doesn't seem like we will be able to find them again. They must be hiding after our attacks."
Andrea nodded. "No matter how high their ego is, they should've come to terms with the fact that we are quite strong. They must be waiting for the time in the Secret Realm to expire."
Angel commented, "How about we stop? Although I really want to kill them, I rather we spend the rest of our time exploring together. We haven't done so yet..."
They all were startled. It was the truth that, although they'd spent some time in the town together, they still hadn't explored the secret realm together.
Kali asked. "How much time is there left?"
Yasenia trailed in her words, "Four days..."
Then, she got thoughtful.
Killing Jaxon and the Tang and Long Heirs was important. However, It was much harder to find someone once they knew they were being hunted. That's why the first attack was the most important. Sadly, they escaped with their lives because they had powerful life-saving treasures.
Yasenia looked at Angel's face, and her heart softened. "Sure, let's stop. The last four days will be for us. Remember, we have to meet up with your sister and the others, so let's leave the last day for that."
Angel's smile bloomed as she jumped on Yasenia's back. "Thank you! I love you!"
Yasenia chuckled and walked with her on her back. Then, she asked. "So, what do you girls want to do?"
Evelyn began speaking. "I want to fu-"
*Bang!*
Yasenia looked at the others with a smile that wasn't a smile and asked again. "What do you want to do?"
They looked at Yasenia's swishing tail and gulped. 'Let's make normal proposals.'
Kali said. "How about we catch some fauna and flora for your ring, Yasenia? The ecosystems in your rings are quite desolated, right?"
Yasenia blinked and said. "Wow, that's quite a good idea."
The others nodded. Yasenia turned toward Cecile and asked. "So, my love. You are the expert in fauna. What kind of beasts should we catch?"
Cecile got thoughtful. Meanwhile, Evelyn returned from being slapped away and looked at Yasenia with pleading eyes. "Why can't we do something quickly? You know, just an hour of bam-bam, and we would be satisfied."
Yasenia sighed and said. "We will do so after we exist in the secret realm, dear. I don't feel secure doing something like that after the spectacle I created. I bet that many people are aiming for us. You've also seen the reaction of most groups that recognize us, right? They either try to fight us to make me their contracted beast, or they run away."
Evelyn sighed. Then, she clenched her fist and stated, "Only four days until I taste dragon dick!"
Yasenia almost tripped even when she was a quadrupedal creature. She looked at Evelyn with a surprised face, "Are you that eager?"
Evelyn nodded, "How many humans have the honor of having sex with a dragon in its dragon form!? Your species becomes too big in the adult phase! Just imagining Uncle Tian Long's thing… No wonder the female dragons ran away from him. They didn't want to die..."
The others strangely couldn't refute her crazy ramblings. 'Why are her crazy episodes so logical?'
Sierra had to look to the side, 'I'm sorry for my master being the way she is!'
Anyway, the last four days were quite relaxing. They hunted beasts together and collected many spirit herbs and minerals. They even found various interesting animals that Yasenia pocketed inside her ring because of Cecile's advice.
One was called [Rainbow Caterpillar].
Depending on their diet, the silk they created was different. Moreover, inside Yasenia's ring, they would thrive easily. The best thing was that they didn't feed on spirit plants, so Yasenia's garden was safe from them. Their diet consisted of other insects as their behavior was similar to spiders.
Another was called [Red Honey Bee].
Yasenia was basically immune to their stings, so she approached and directly threw the whole beehive inside with all the bees she was able to catch, the [Red Queen Bee] included.
These bees didn't only create extremely nutritious and powerful Honey, but they would aid Spirit Plants' growth and also become food for the caterpillars.
The third species Cecile recommended was [Soil Enhancement Earthworm]. They would eat the rotting plants and create enough extract to make the already-regulated soil healthier. Moreover, they also fed on insects from time to time, so they could control the population of the [Rainbow Caterpillars].
Inside her ring, in the forest area, Yasenia had plenty of precious spirit herbs, so she couldn't risk having those insects destroy them.
Therefore, she searched for bird species that could control their population further.
On their last day, she finally found something interesting. Cecile told her that they would be perfect because they didn't eat plants, just insects. It was called [Morning Sun Bat].
A special breed of white bats that fed on small creatures. They would regulate the environment without multiplying a lot. Moreover, they could only survive in places where they were the top predator because their reproduction rate was quite low.
Cecile nodded, "With this, your forest inside the right will not only be auto-sufficient like it was before but also evolve. The evolution potential of these creatures and all the more common ones we added will be enough to make the forest lively without hurting the Spirit Herbs."
Yasenia licked her lips and said, "Your help is appreciated; expect plenty of rewards~."
Cecile scratched her neck and smiled, "I will eagerly wait for them."
*Grrr~.*
It seems that, no matter how Yasenia changed, her lovely growling and tail wagging would never disappear.
And so, as they bantered and played, the time to return arrived.
